Follow the link to check out this week’s suggestions, which include seeing a new movie (“What’s Your Number?,” “50/50,” “Dream House”), celebrating Great Books Week, decorating for Halloween and more. Do you know of any local events happening this weekend? Please share!

2. There are two book events this weekend: Friday is International Translation Day and Sunday begins Great Books Week. Your library may be holding special events, so call and check. Or you can do activities on your own, such as creating your own “best” books list – what book would be No. 1? “War and Peace”? “Don Quixote”?

3. Saturday is World Vegetarian Day. Even if you’re not a vegetarian, why not celebrate by preparing a non-meat dish? There are some delicious vegetarian recipes out there these days.

4. Sunday kicks off National Newspaper Week. Check with your paper to see if anything special is planned, or simply celebrate by reading the paper!

5. October is upon us, so it’s time to start decorating for Halloween! You can do it on the cheap, too – have your kids draw spooky decorations, make your own ghosts or whatever you can think of. Pumpkin patches, haunted houses and corn mazes are starting to open as well.
